Supercharge team collaboration with group chat and IM.

HipChat is a hosted private chat service for your company or team. Invite colleagues to share ideas and files in persistent group chat rooms. Get your team off AIM, Google Talk, and Skype — HipChat was built for business.

Features:

File sharing and storage
Share PDFs, mockups, and documents for instant feedback. Access them any time from the HipChat client or on the web.

Chat and file history
HipChat automatically saves your conversations and files. Never forget who said what, and when. Access history anywhere you have internet.

Chat rooms
Use rooms for departments, teams, or projects. Rooms can be open for anyone to join, or private for only invited members.

Instant image preview
Share or link to an image and you'll get a live preview. Perfect for creative or design teams. Hour long design sessions are a thing of the past.

One-on-one messaging
Have side conversations with your teammates. You'll have chat history and file sharing to help you keep track.

SMS
Send and receive one-on-one chat messages on any phone via SMS. They'll even be saved in the chat history.

Notifications
Don't want to miss a thing? Customize HipChat alerts with sounds, flashes, and pop-ups. Get someone's attention by typing @name.

Guest access
Collaborate with people outside your company. Perfect for clients, vendors, or live customer support.

Emoticons
Express yourself with dozens of built in emoticons. Even upload your own to share with your coworkers!

Spell checking
We all make mitsakes. HipChat will keep you from embarrassing yourself in front of your team members (at least spelling-wise).

API
Use our API to send messages to rooms whenever a coworker posts a blog entry, checks in code, or fixes a bug.

Video and Voice Chat
Have face-to-face meetings with a coworker. All you need is a webcam and a microphone.
